Read the following passage carefully:
In March 2026, the Ministry of Heavy Industries released the updated operational framework for the National Clean Urban Logistics Policy (NCULP). Under this framework, commercial logistics fleets operating within Class-I metropolitan cities (defined as urban agglomerations with a population exceeding 1 million) are mandated to transition a minimum of 40% of their operational fleet to zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) by December 2028. However, this specific target applies exclusively to light commercial vehicles weighing under 3.5 tonnes. Heavy freight vehicles exceeding 3.5 tonnes are explicitly exempt from the 2028 mandate and are instead assigned an extended compliance deadline of March 2032. Additionally, the policy specifies that state governments offering direct capital subsidies of at least 15% to local logistics operators will receive a 25% matching grant from the central urban transition fund, provided the corresponding municipal corporation has notified dedicated low-emission freight corridors.
Based on the information provided in the passage, which of the following statements is explicitly correct?
- Light commercial vehicles weighing under 3.5 tonnes in Class-I metropolitan cities must transition at least 40% of their operational fleet to zero-emission vehicles by December 2028.Cevap
- BHeavy freight vehicles weighing over 3.5 tonnes are required to achieve the 40% zero-emission fleet transition target by December 2028.
- CState governments automatically receive a 25% central matching grant as long as municipal corporations notify low-emission freight corridors.
- DThe 40% zero-emission vehicle target applies uniformly to commercial logistics fleets in all urban municipalities across the nation.
